People's Federation will live forever

Chapter 12 Script and Actors

War, we humans are not unfamiliar with it. Long before the natural law of the weak was summed up in words, human beings invented the national movement of "war". Although this world is not the earth, Li De believes that the nature of things will not What has changed.

There are many forms of war, the reasons for war are various, and the excuses for war are various, but there is no war that is not launched for resources and a safe living space, even if the earth people have never fought with species other than humans War, but for Saiyan humans, the orcs and what they are fighting for is the land under their feet, which is a necessity for survival. Such contradictions are absolutely impossible to reconcile.

The same is true for Li De. As a new "invader" on this planet, he also needs a living space. Humans can still be absorbed by him, but orcs?The dogma of the Brotherhood leaves no room for filthy aliens, and the precious compassion of human beings should be given to one's own kind rather than to filthy aliens.Li De can bluntly say that he is favoring human beings, there is no reason, and no reason is needed.

Burn the enemy to death, kill the alien, the so-called dream of the alien is to dance on the grave of human beings, and the road of human progress will also be paved by the corpses of the enemy-well, very good, add this sentence to the dogma immediately.

Li De was just thinking wildly, wanting to relieve his depression in this way.He gently pushed the joystick, feeling a rising air current, the hang glider trembled for a while and then began to climb upwards, the electric motor drove the propeller at the tail to move forward, and his shadow quickly flashed across the ruins of the city.

At this height of less than 200 meters from the ground, anyone who looks up at this time can see this weird glider.I don't know how many orcs are hiding under the ground of this city. Maybe there will be dozens of pairs of eyes looking at him in the shadows, but he doesn't care, the legion is gathering, and all the orcs in this area will be wiped out. A little stragglers are nothing.Besides, the probability of shooting a moving air target with the naked eye is about the same as hitting a fly with a stone, so he doesn't believe that the orcs have this ability.

But this is not the reason why Li De chose the hang gliding, mainly because Li De inspected his arsenal a few quarters of an hour ago, and was embarrassed to find that he did not have a suitable means of transportation!

Not to mention the airport, the heavy factory has not yet been built, and the only weapons in stock are heavy personnel carriers like the liquidator, which cannot meet their requirements at all.I wrote a script with great difficulty, and I want to appear before the homeless people solve their troubles, so this action must be fast!

"Master, where's my four-wheel drive? Where's the motorcycle? I want these two. I don't need to focus on the factory. The printer in the armory can make it by changing the blueprint, right?"

"In the command analysis, the equipment can be manufactured, but your request is unreasonable. The area you plan is an unimproved primitive jungle, and the local terrain is a swampy wetland. Four-wheel drive vehicles and assault motorcycles do not have the off-road capabilities of this terrain , please revoke this plan." The voice of the host was cold and heartless, in addition to pouring cold water on him, it also proposed an alternative plan.

"The system has located the Aboriginal camp identified in the communication, and you may dispatch the Cybernetic Corps to rescue refugees in the area," it said. "If the local aborigines are unwilling to submit, historical data shows that the Holy Spirit Mecha can effectively intimidate those who disobey."

"Don't make fun of me, and I don't give you permission to interrupt!"

Having said that, to be honest, Li De really thought about doing this for a moment. The eight-meter-tall black humanoid mecha spouted purification fire and trampled to death. Teams of orcs drove in front of the homeless people and shouted: " Brothers and sisters! Salvation has come!"

That's really... The host obviously supports this plan. Long before the host proposed to search the refugee camps of the local indigenous people in a blanket manner, and send a team of intelligent control legions to capture them all. In terms of efficiency, this is much faster. , Logically speaking, more people can be saved.

But what Li De was thinking about was the aftermath—not only was it unfavorable to him, but it seemed really simple to use fear to control people. Karbo had done this before, so where should we talk about loyalty?Natural people are not cloned people instilled with ideas. Humans yearn for freedom by nature, and they will get their own judgments through observation, which will only push human beings to their own opposites.Killing people is easy, but when the rebellion begins, do you still want to learn from the Mechanicus to remove their lobotomies and transform them into mechanical servants?Then why bother to spend so much time.

So, without a better choice, Li De put on the hang glider of the Shadow Squad, and carried out a low-altitude flight without an invisible force field with simple equipment.The city was fleeting under him, and a dense jungle gradually appeared in his vision.He was approaching, calculating the location of the target, he slowly lowered the altitude, the engine was turned off, there was no forward airflow, and the altitude of the glider dropped sharply.This would be an extremely dangerous stall for flesh and blood, but it is also the best way to not attract the attention of everyone who is fighting in the jungle.

30 meters, 20 meters, 5 meters!The hang glider folded with a "click", and Li De leaned forward and put his legs together, ready to face the impact!

The not-so-solid ground felt under his feet, and the electronic muscles in his legs contracted suddenly, directly absorbing the kinetic energy of the impact, and Li De landed hard.The hang glider automatically gathered a square backpack and carried it on Li De's shoulder. There was a weapon hanging beside the backpack, and a sword-shaped thing wrapped in cloth was pinned to his waist.

Pulling out the sniper rifle picked up from the orc leader from the side of the backpack, Li De checked the distance from the drone—not far away, everything is as planned, the script has been written, the actors are in place, think The sense of drama that he was expecting was about to come online, and the corners of his mouth were drawn with pride.

"Come on, the show is about to begin!"

---

The battle on the other side ended quickly and bloodily.

When Dom sliced ​​the entire head off of the last orc, and Ana shot everyone who was still moving, the battle was over, and everyone was about to collapse from exhaustion.Stamina is really not a numerical value. When you continuously sprint [-] meters with a heartbeat close to [-], and then do a set of obstacles and shoot hundreds of bullets, and fight with a few big guys passionately, adrenaline will be consumed. After cleaning, your whole body can be paralyzed in place.Even if the few present are all battle-tested masters, it is a bit overwhelming for a while.

The second lieutenant gasped for breath while leaning on the gun, the orc's blood sprayed his face, and the big bald head no longer reflected the light in the sun.Kamin is currently pulling out the wooden thorns on his hands, and his blood mixed with the orc's blood looks terrible.And Anna stood in the pool of blood, she was the cleanest among them.

Dom sat down on the rocket soldier who was killed by the bombing, picked up the rifle and took off the magazine, looked at it and frowned: "There is not much ammunition, we may have to use the enemy's weapons to perform the mission. "As he spoke, he looked at the grenade launcher at the rocket soldier's hand.

"Who wants to take this big iron? We are short of heavy weapons"

"I can't stand the recoil, and I hurt my hand... oh, thank you." Carmin muttered and dropped a wooden splinter, and Ana walked over to him with a bandage, and the latter thanked him gratefully.

"It's okay to rest for a while, but recover quickly, we still have to catch up." Jin Mingyang said, and shouted into the air—"Jack! Where is Frank's position? Where are they?"

Mercury-like fluctuations flashed in the air around them, and like Li De's phase force field, a chubby figure showed his face in midair—a tactical support robot, the highest crystallization of pre-war technology of the Security Alliance, only Allotted to the most important tasks.

The little robot was floating in mid-air by the vector engine, and the electronic eyes flashed, as if it was receiving a signal.Everyone saw several obvious light spots on the map of the display screen on its abdomen, representing an independent unit of the D team operating in an area close to two kilometers away.

"Wow." Anna couldn't help but exclaimed, and stared at Jack with two big eyes, "When I was a child, I dreamed of a robot."

"Sorry, miss, military property, no takeaway." Dom, who was standing behind, couldn't help laughing at Anna's curious look, and joked with her - she was very brave in battle, but Anna was just a child after all.

Dom thought so, but for a moment, he thought of the two sons he had lost, and his smile gradually lost its color.

If they were still alive, would they be as old as Anna?I also promised to buy them gifts when they returned home, and I also promised Maria to accompany her to visit her mother's house, but now...

Where is my home?Maria has been missing for almost ten years, and she has been looking for it for ten years. She must hate herself as a father who can't protect her son, right?I have been working hard, but I still can't find hope.

Damn Marcus!How good would it be if you were here?Relatives are gone, why even friends leave me?

He was tired—unknowingly, he stretched out his hand and placed it gently on Anna's head, looking like a father looking after his child.The girl was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him inexplicably, but she didn't refuse.

For a few seconds, it seemed like a long time had passed.Dom, who woke up from the memory, withdrew his hand in a little panic. After taking a closer look, Anna didn't mean to be dissatisfied. The second lieutenant and Carmin were still studying the map, so they couldn't help but smile awkwardly and hide their hands behind their backs.Anna turned her head away, not knowing what she was thinking, but laughed softly.

At this time, the second lieutenant had already studied the map, pressed the communicator next to his ear and started connecting: "Frank? This is Jin Mingyang, received the answer! Repeat, received the answer!"

After the sizzling electric sound, Frank's voice came from the robot——

"Second Lieutenant! It's me, thank God you're alive, is that girl okay?"

The second lieutenant glanced at Anna: "It's all right, everything is fine! Tell me about your situation, how are the refugees doing?"

"I'm fine, sir! (The voice seems to turn to other places) Don't surround me, I've said it all, that girl is fine, old man!" There seemed to be some quarrel over there, the second lieutenant couldn't help frowning, and called out to Frank a few times before Back on the line, "Sir, come and meet us, my side...well, there is a little trouble."

"Then stand by and we'll come over right away!"

The second lieutenant turned around and raised his weapon: "Did you hear that, there is something waiting for us over there, collect the necessary weapons and ammunition, and leave immediately!"

Everyone took action, groping around for what they needed from the corpses around them.Just as Dom picked up a bag of grenades from the corpse, Anna leaned over.

"Mr. Dom, can you tell me about your family?"

Chapter 13 Dilemmas and Choices

A few minutes before the call, Frank did run into a bit of trouble—when he led a few survivors in a panic to catch up with the large force, the former Independent Republic veteran lost his temper on the spot.

"You agreed to escort us, what's going on now? Aisha, where did Luo Er go? You left them behind!?" Mr. Brown blushed with anger, if Hill hadn't stopped him, he would have already punched him Hit Frank in the face.Faced with all this, Frank couldn't explain, and he couldn't explain how hard he worked before.

"Be reasonable, old man!" The soldier also raised his voice, but he still couldn't overwhelm the grizzled old man. "They ran away from us, and the orcs were chasing very closely. I managed to bring these people out. I had to deal with the whole chasing army by myself, and they couldn't help. I couldn't help but Saving one is one?"

"Bastard! I shouldn't have trusted you bunch of security bastards!"

This time it was really a solid punch on Frank's helmet, forcing him to take a few steps back.Regardless of his fist being injured by the helmet and bleeding, the old man rushed forward, "21 people! I swore I would bring them all out, and bring out all of them!"

Hill and the two young men managed to grab Brown, and Hill shouted: "Uncle Brown, you have tried your best, we all know this trip will be dangerous," and then he turned his head, "Soldier, Anna is still here Back with your officers, where are they now?"

"I'm more anxious than you. I haven't received the signal for a while." Frank said dissatisfiedly, and now he was also full of anger and wanted to send out, "I repeat, they had already run away when I caught up from behind Now, I can only gather these few people, or you can ask them!"

"I would like to believe you, Mr. Soldier, but now we are separated, and Anna and the others have no news, so can you contact me?" Hill said anxiously, "Now we need help."

Frank sighed, and could only try to call a few times, but there was no response.He shrugged helplessly and said to everyone.

"Maybe it's magnetic field interference. You can only use a high-power repeater at this time... Don't get excited, the captain and the others don't die that easily." Seeing Hill's eyes turn red, he hurriedly dissuaded him.After talking for a while, he looked wrong again, and Hill and Brown's expressions became even uglier, and they quickly explained—"I mean, the girl and the captain must be fine together, maybe they are telling us Come over here."

As expected, the young man didn't buy it. He was worried all over his face: "Anna and the others have held back most of the orcs. I saw a few more big guys. How can they deal with them?" Messed up.Seeing his anxious look, Frank wanted to try to say a few more words.After all, not to mention the two new recruits, Kamin and himself, the second lieutenant and Dom are veterans who have experienced many battles. Unexpectedly, this young man suddenly stood up.

"Uncle Brown, we have to go back and help them!"

As Hill picked up his weapon and was about to charge back, Mr. Brown held him back. He, who was the most excited at first, slapped Hill on the face and scolded, "Don't mess around! You think you're the only one worried here. Anna, why don't you leave so many people here? Don't get carried away by your emotions!"

The scene became very embarrassing. Several young people in the team looked at Hill with dissatisfaction, and they didn't know why they were dissatisfied. This surprised even Frank.Hill covered his red and swollen face, flustered by the old man's yelling, and didn't dare to look directly at Brown, so he could only defend in a low voice: "She saved me, I..."

"Anna saved all of us! She is more capable than all of you, and I taught her all! Don't take yourself too seriously. If you run back, will you save her, or will she save you? ! You should think about how to protect the team instead of being a burden!"

The old man's words pierced Hill's heart like a knife, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.Seeing his disappointment, the old man didn't know what to say for a while, he took a breath, and shouted again in his loud voice, which startled Frank.

"Soldier! You and I go back and find Aisha and the others!" Pointing to the young men again, "You guys lead the team and keep going! Remember the way?"

Frank suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

"What are you waiting for, it will be too late!"

"Captain and the others are in touch!"

......

After a while, the four hurried to the team.This time they really marched in a hurry. The security guards gave full play to their physical advantages of strict training and galloped all the way through the muddy mud. Anna gritted her teeth and tried to keep up, making Dom very worried about her body.

But she turned down Dom's offer to stay and run slowly with her.Hunger and exhaustion made her pale, her stomach churned, and she doubted that she would spit out bile.

Fortunately, with that robot leading the way, everyone arrived along the straight line as quickly as possible, saving the time of searching along the way.When she saw the whole group of people in the team, especially Uncle Brown, she was very pleasantly surprised and felt relieved again, but when she counted the number of people, some familiar faces disappeared, which made her feel relieved again.

"Uncle Brown!"

Watching a few people rushing out of the jungle, Brown rushed forward regardless of anything.The old man hugged Anna, and stroked Anna's red hair with his broad palms, crying: "I knew you would be fine, child, I knew it!" Anna was almost crying.The two were sad for a while, and Dom watched all this from the sidelines, feeling a lot of feelings in his heart.

He remembered what Anna had asked him before, and he had simply answered it back then.

"My wife and I had two sons, the same age as you, but the war took them away from me."

"Sorry...Mr. Dom, I'm just curious." At that time, Anna lowered her head a little ashamedly, and shook her head to express that it was okay, but she felt empty in her heart.

"We've all lost so much, but what's lost can't be recovered. Now I just want to end this damn thing as soon as possible. This is what I fight for."

But Dom knew that wasn't the case, that he wasn't telling the truth at the time.

Seeing that the two finally recovered, and the morale of the team was greatly boosted by the rush back, Dom sighed, brushing away all these thoughts and regrouping.This side is reminiscing about the old days, and the second lieutenant and the others have already talked to Frank, and he followed up to see what happened.

"So, how many refugees got separated? Any more information, Frank?"

The second lieutenant asked seriously. He is a strict soldier who obeys orders and values ​​honor at the same time. Even he is worried that Frank has not fulfilled his duty—"Frank, the order given to you is to escort the refugees. It is really not you who left them behind." of?"

Frank protested loudly with obvious grievances: "Sir, I have tried my best. The line was very long, and I fought the orcs in the back, and got shot a few times!" He pointed to several broken spots on his armor. The traces, indeed, were bullet hits that resulted in the shattering of the ceramic plate. "Not one shot was shot in the back, sir! When I suppressed the orcs and turned back, the refugees had already scattered. I could only gather a few people and fight and retreat. I only have one person, and I can't keep them all."

"I don't care about these processes!" the second lieutenant yelled, Frank had to shut up, "The result is that you didn't perform the task well! Now, call the few people you brought over and ask them in which direction they ran. , how many orcs are chasing them?!"

As a result, six people ran away, and four of them were women. They were chased by the slaves released by the orcs and deviated from the team at several angles. What Franco said was true.

If judged according to this condition, the few people who escaped may be more or less fortunate, even if they die, they will be much happier than being captured.

A young man in the team said with a pale face: "I heard that the orcs lock people up as coolies and take pleasure in torturing people, especially women..."

"Shut your stinking mouth!" Brown snapped, and the young man stepped back and covered his mouth, but the atmosphere of terror was already lingering over the crowd.

To save people?It may have been over long ago, but fell into the trap of the orcs.Not to save?Who could say such heartless words?If one day it's me who gets lost...

The crowd fell into a brief silence again. Everyone knew that there were only two choices at the moment, but no matter which one they chose, no one wanted to be the first to speak.

After listening to the whole thing, Anna watched everyone fall into silence, gritted her teeth and stood up.

"We can't leave them behind."

"They were probably hiding somewhere, waiting for us to rescue them, and the orcs might not have caught them," she said.

The second lieutenant looked at her with a very serious expression.He wanted to confirm whether it was rational words or a woman's weakness, so he asked her back:

"What if it's already too late? We've already gone through a fierce battle, and we're almost in danger. How about taking more lives to save us? Have you considered this?"

"If they are caught, maybe we still have a chance to save them, if they die... at least we have tried." Anna said more firmly, "Mr. Jin Mingyang, it's not that I haven't considered the risks involved. It's just that it's not too far away, and it's not hopeless, and so many of us are doing nothing, I think, so..."

The girl paused for a moment, then looked at Second Lieutenant Jin Ming Yang: "Would you abandon your comrades in arms?"

Brown slapped Anna on the shoulder with admiration in his eyes.The second lieutenant nodded slightly, barely acknowledging the reason.

"Our agreement is to escort you to the camp. Since it is not certain that they have been killed, then we should take action."

Dom came over and reported to the second lieutenant: "Captain, I suggest that I go with Frank and the three veterans. We will search for survivors as soon as possible."

"Okay, then Carmin and I will lead the team and maintain a bottomless electrical connection."

The second lieutenant and the old man agreed, but Anna insisted on standing up: "I proposed it, so I should go, Uncle Brown, you lead the team, everyone will be more at ease." Gained courage: "I'll go too, take me with you!"

"Don't mess around, Anna, your strength is exhausted, take a break now, Hill, you can follow me." Brown frowned and scolded. Suddenly, there was a violent explosion sound from a distance!

Everyone was taken aback by this sudden change, and they all searched for traces of the enemy. Only the second lieutenant and Dom realized that something was wrong.

"Bombs, and the sound of large-caliber rifles!" The second lieutenant heard the sound of gunfire, and listened carefully, as well as the roar of the chainsaw motor.Dom nodded: "It's not an orc's weapon, but ours. Is there anyone else here?"

They looked at each other and agreed in their eyes.

Dom greeted: "Follow me!" He took the lead in rushing towards the source of the sound, and Frank followed his footsteps.As soon as the old man stepped forward, Anna rushed out one step ahead of him, so angry that he stomped his feet, so he could only greet Hill——

"Why are you standing still? Follow Anna!"

Chapter 14 Awakening Protocol

At the same time, in the base twenty kilometers away from the jungle, it was a different scene.
